META-POST!

The first thing I notice in reviewing my blog is my use of photography. I have one running blog posts called "Images and Artifacts" which shows pictures of things that literally pop out at me in my everyday life. I usually record those impression on my iPhone. My collection of visual objects almost linger in my mind longer than the representation of words in my blog posts. I love his part of my blog because it is ongoing and fun. In the end, I hope it is a log of the time spent. It makes me a more conscious, creative and observant person.

I tend to choose topics that are more tangential, personal thoughts over class topics or pop culture. Consequently, my blog has a wide variety of blog post topics. As our A.S. class progresses, my blog has become more connected with our discussions in class.

I love the flexibility of blogging. On some days after class I feel that I am really excited to get home and blog. Other days, after I get home from practice, eat dinner, and start my homework the excitement to blog has worn off. Occasionally,I become baffled on what to blog about. Timing is one of my challenges with blogging. I think that blogging is an interesting new way for us to learn and share. My favorite part about blogging is hitting the button that says "post blog". I feel very successful when I publish.

Next to the "Images and Artifact"entries, the blog I would most like others to read would be my post called "Fidel's End-of-Life Confession". I thought this was one of my more thoughtful and interesting blogs to read. It was satisfying to read a current event and respond with expertise from my personal travel.

  1. "Timing is one of my challenges with blogging." Couldn't agree more, Remy. More than other forms of writing, it feels like blogging can be such an urgent need to publish.
